Hi Cindy,Strobes are better. You donít have to work on a tripod, your shooting area doesnít become overheated, and your color is accurate. Strobes are more expensive and take more time to learn to use, but they provide better results. So if you are doing this once, I would get someone else to make a quality picture. If you are going to do this a lot, then I would get strobes.Good Luck! John Siskin

Hi John,Thank you for reply. I wonder what do you mean strobes ?Strobes = flash light ?

Hi Cindy,I try to be careful about these two words. Strobe means any very short duration light, generally less than 1/1000th of a second, made by passing an electric spark through a tube filled with Xenon and other gasses. AS flash is a single use bulb with a duration of about 1/60 of a second. The light is made by burning an aluminum filament in a bulb filled with oxygen. You donít see many flashes these days. The thing on your camera is a strobe.Thanks, John Siskin
